Day 40 — Peter and John in Samaria (Acts 8:14-25) | June 4

Day 47 — Peter Heals Aeneas (Acts 9:32-35) | June 11

A man named Aeneas had been paralyzed and bedridden for eight years. 2,920 days of waking up unable to move. Then Peter walked in and said six words: "Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you." Not "I heal you." Jesus Christ. The source of the power was never in question. In this episode, we watch one healing turn into a regional awakening as the entire Sharon plain turned to the Lord. God often works through small beginnings to achieve large outcomes. One divine appointment became a tipping point. The person you pray for, the neighbor you serve, you have no idea what God might do through that single encounter.

Day 46 — Escape and Acceptance (Acts 9:23-31) | June 10

The hunter became the hunted. Saul's powerful preaching made him a marked man, and he escaped Damascus in the middle of the night, lowered through a wall in a basket like a smuggled fugitive. When he reached Jerusalem, the believers wouldn't accept him. The wounds were too fresh. Enter Barnabas, the Son of Encouragement, who risked his own credibility to vouch for a man nobody else would trust. In this episode, we see that conversion doesn't automatically erase memory, that trust takes time to rebuild, and that sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is loan someone your trust when theirs has run out.

Day 45 — Saul Is Baptized and Preaches (Acts 9:17-22) | June 9

Ananias walked through the door and spoke the most unexpected word Saul had ever heard: "Brother." Three days earlier, Saul was hunting Christians. Now a Christian was calling him family. Scales fell from his eyes, and almost immediately the former persecutor began proving in the synagogues that Jesus is the Messiah. The same intellectual firepower that had driven his persecution was now deployed for the gospel. In this episode, we see the most dramatic transformation in the New Testament unfold in real time. A changed life is one of the most powerful evidences for the gospel. How do you argue with a terrorist who became a preacher?

Day 44 — Ananias' Mission (Acts 9:10-16) | June 8

God's next assignment for an ordinary disciple named Ananias sounded like a death wish: go find the man who's been arresting and killing Christians, lay hands on him, and welcome him into the family. Ananias pushed back. He had every reason to be afraid. But he brought his fear to God instead of letting it make the decision for him. In this episode, we meet one of the unsung heroes of the New Testament, a man whose courage changed the trajectory of the entire church. Without Ananias, the most prolific missionary in Christian history might have been sidelined by suspicion. Sometimes the most important thing you can do is show up when God's assignment terrifies you.

Day 43 — The Road to Damascus (Acts 9:1-9) | June 7

Saul was breathing threats like a dragon exhaling fire, hunting Christians all the way to Damascus. Then heaven interrupted. A light brighter than the midday sun knocked him to the ground, and a voice asked the question that would rewrite the rest of his life: "Why are you persecuting me?" In this episode, we watch the most dangerous enemy of the early church come face to face with the risen Jesus on a dusty road outside Damascus. Everything Saul believed collapsed in a single moment. His blindness became the beginning of his sight. And the story of the gospel's most unlikely convert reminds us that no one is too far gone for God's relentless grace.
